After Netscape added support for animated gifs, I surfed the web and it amazed me how many web sites had included a rotating world into their design. There were so many variations: different sizes, colors, speed of rotation, integration into logos, etc. Instead of being annoyed at the cliche, I decided to start collecting them. I consider them my (web) stamp collection.

All of these are from sites I have visited. I started keeping track of the original sites late in the collection process, so only a few have site links.

I'm working to restructure these pages to divide the images based on size and other interesting criteria. In the meantime, you can look at the old of this page.
